AN OPEN MIND

Daily Reflections - OCTOBER 18

True humility and an open mind can lead us to faith, . . .  TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 33

My alcoholic thinking led me to believe that I could control my drinking, but I couldn't. When I came to A.A., I realized that God was speaking to me through my group. My mind was open just enough to know that I needed His help. A real, honest acceptance of AA. took more time, but with it came humility. I know how insane I was, and I am ex- tremely grateful to have my sanity restored to me and to be a  sober  alcoholic.  The  new,  sober  me  is  a  much  better person than I ever could have been without A.A.
